I had an AH-64D Longbow/Flash point Korea site I made when I was 12yrs old at http://www.reocities.com/TimesSquare/Stadium/6353/longbow.html. Wow i guess geocities sold the pages to some other company but any ways I have lost the log in information for the account anywho. The apache lethal poster on the site was given to me at an air show. I made a promise that I have beaten the original longbow and flash point korea campaigns and missions I will have to beat Longbow 2. I got the game (after a couple of hours) to run great in Windows 7 using the voodoodg wrapper program on this forum and am playing the game in 1600x900 res! on Windows 7.

Good to see the community is still here, good hunting out.

Hi john84, so I guess you must be 25 now? I'm 26 and have the biggest (well in fact only) active Jane's Longbow series site now. I don't know if you've seen it?

http://digitality.comyr.com/flyboy/lb2/

Are you having any crashes playing LB2 in Windows 7? I mean computer crashes not in-game ones! smile

Yeah I remember your site, but can't remember any of the content. Mine started out on GeoCities too, as one page! If you still have any old content laying around that you'd like to see go to good use, I'd be more than happy to add it to my site. Or if you'd like a sub-section on my site to re-upload your old one, that could be an option too.

Welcome to the forums!

EDIT: I see that the link you provided is actually to an active site. I thought that you had simply mistyped geocities.com. Ah yes, I remember that site well! I see most of the images are missing though.

Yeap almost 26.. After LB series I never got LB2, moved into Half-life in 99 when it was still playing on won servers. I have cs source and it is amazing. Played all the HL series and still a huge fan. Have moved into flash point 1985 and the ffur mods that came with it. I guess from flight sim i have moved into FPS. The newest flight sim I tried was Lock On Modern Air Combat. That is an amazing sim. You get to be in an a-10 like on fp1985. I wish Janes made that A-10 sim. and But i still need to beat LB2. TRying to convert my old joystick into something usb compatible, I don't even know what kind of connectors are on it from way back in the day. My summer days are pretty much occupied with work and some RC electric glider flying now, but on bad/rainy days it will be LB2.

Yes, on occasion I have some crashes playing LB2 on windows 7. Also the inverted color screen but when I click a building and exit it goes away.

Hi, new to the forum. Getting my feet wet. Have been flying LB2 for 2 years now. I'm so glad I got it running! It was a gift in 1998. It wasn't until 2008 that mission was on! It's been fun figuring out how to tweak it. I will post a picture later to see if I've done OK.

Hi 1SE_NER, welcome to the forums! I'm amused that it's only your feet that have got wet, I can't say the same for me the first time I got into a LB2 mission!

Thanks for noticing. It's been a "mission" worth tacking on! Here's what it looks like. Could it be better? WinkNGrin
Well I tried. not sure yet how to include a .jpg yet.

To show JPG images here, upload your picture somewhere and copy the link. Then add it below in this way (remove '*' symbols)...

[*img]http://www.link.com/pic.jpg[*/img]

... or alternatively just copy the link here for people to click on.
